And who's fault is it dude lol :D

if you are going 4WD then the blizzard is definatley a better car, as far as i can see all you need to do is put a better set of shocks on it. i run the X4Pro, and it is very competative think of the blizzard as the basic bmax.

as madmax said get the blizzard or look for Chris56 he still might have his x4pro for sale..

Blizzards are good but they dont come with a slipper.
The X4-pro is the way to go.... £170 if you shop around

Hi Guys, Newbie here, I have a Blizzard, and a M Smacker, neither have a slipper and was wondering what are the advantages of one?

Sorry a bit Dim when it comes to technicalities!

Oh and as a newbie I find the Smacker much tougher than the Blizzard, but I can crash both quite easily!:lol:

The slipper clutch in a 4wd is mostly to cushion the drivetrain from rough landings. I've run cars without them in the past and it hasn't been a huge issue, although I tend to be a bit gentler on the throttle than other drivers.

Thanks guys

Get a second hand B44, a competative car, with all the bits on, and you may even get some spares.

For the lower budget, the LRP S10 Blast BX has all the toys - slipper, gear diffs, big bore shocks, front CVDs, and is available roller only for £90 from Freeprawn Racing.

Used B44s are hens' teeth atm, but are a solid platform. Hard to get one cheap though.

Funny you should mention the lrp blast as I was looking at them and the reviews seem really good, I just need to check parts are easy to get

[Robbiejuk]

Yes definatly check the parts are easy to get if your getting a blast, thats all I will say :D.

I am assuming you need a car which will take stick packs Mark so that does limit the choice of 4wd cars you have availiable to you.

My money would be buy a nice second hand x4 and then get a blizzard chassis for it. Then you get all the goodness of the pro (slipper clutch, alloy shocks) and you are able to run stick packs.:thumbsup:
